Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 542 Wu Meiniang's Nature

After Sun Xiangfu, Cai Can and others made an agreement, the trial of the case ended soon. According to the law, a group of people were betrayed to Shanyang Labor Camp for five to 15 years. He stayed nearby to do hard labor. After all, there were more dirty and tiresome work on the embankment project, but he didn't want to destroy the justice of the law.

As for the more than 500 million dirty money handed over by their families, Li Shimin directly invested in the development and construction of the Jinghu area with a swipe of his pen. Then, the welfare moment for the victims who helped build the embankment came.

Sun Xiangfu announced a series of policies to resettle the victims of the disaster. In the area of ​​Nanshan Road, because the fields and houses were flooded during the spring flood this year, the people can apply to settle in the newly opened fields by the imperial court. The imperial court will give each The household is allocated 25 mu of paddy fields, [-] mu of dry land, a set of brick and tile houses with four houses and one courtyard, and enjoys some dividends from the village collective's fish soup, lotus root pond, breeding industry, etc.

The people who settled down can live in the villages that have built the fields according to the order of application, but they must return the Yongye land allocated to them by the imperial court to the imperial court. Provide [-] days of hard labor for the imperial court to compensate for the house payment.

That is to say, they exchanged [-] acres of Yongye fields that are prone to disasters for [-] acres of paddy fields that will not be affected by disasters. During the slack time of each year, they do [-] days of work for the court to deduct the house payment, and accumulate it for three years. It was three hundred days, which was exactly ten months. Based on the usual monthly wages of workers in the Jinghu area, it was almost ten guan dollars.

It seems that the common people did not take advantage of it, but in fact, all the common people on the embankment construction site are scrambling to apply for settlement.

Because, the [-] mu of land in the embankment has very convenient water conservancy irrigation facilities, which can guarantee high yields, and the brick and tile dwelling with four houses and one courtyard is almost the dream residence of the common people.

The so-called four houses and one courtyard occupy a large area, with a total area of ​​more than [-] square meters. There is a main room in the middle and a main room on the left and right sides to form a house.There is a dining room, a kitchen, a firewood room, and the last toilet, which is a room on the left side behind the main room.There are two guest rooms and a utility room for farm tools, which is the rear of the main house and a house on the right side.There are also pig houses, cow houses, and chicken houses in a row, which are left in the last row of long houses in the backyard.

The open-air yard framed by four rows of houses alone covers more than 100 square meters. Several fruit trees can be planted in it, a well can be drilled, and several racks for drying clothes can be erected. In the village, I saw the finished product.

The floor of the house is all made of cement, and the walls will also be painted with a certain height of cement. The front door, back door, and windows are all made of good wood.

Not to mention, the government will provide every three households with a buffalo, and each household will be equipped with more than two fine-bred piglets, as well as [-] high-yielding chickens and ducks from the Luoyang farm. After the equipment is provided to them, it can be regarded as their private property.

With these assets, even families with more children are confident that they can live well, and the victims of the disaster are of course willing to settle here.

And all the expenses for building houses, equipping corresponding livestock, poultry, and a small amount of furniture were paid out of more than 500 million dirty money recovered by Cai Huangdeng, Liu Kuai and others. The money came from their exploitation of the people. It should be returned to the people. Even if Sun Xiangfu helps each household with 500 guan, more than 200 million guan, it can also help [-] households. The more than [-] million land purchase funds left by the samurai Xun before are enough to resettle all the people.

Moreover, this is also a way for Sun Xiangfu to keep the people who came from the northeast to build embankments in the local area. However, at that time, the tens of millions of funds allocated by the imperial court will be transferred to Jingzhou.

As long as the migrant workers have a Datang household registration, they also enjoy the same living conditions as the disaster victims. I believe that such a configuration and the income they will have after having such a configuration will make everyone who has seen the local situation on the spot The people are heartbroken.

Time has entered June, and the rice ears in the embankment are covered with heavy millet, and the rice leaves are beginning to turn yellow. This kind of scene makes everyone very motivated, even in the summer sun. It is very hot, and they are willing to work a little longer, because they want to build the embankment as soon as possible, live in a comfortable house built inside, and own a rice field like the No. [-] embankment with amazing output. There is an order that they can only work when the weather is cool in the morning and evening, which stops their desperate enthusiasm.

Now, all the people who apply to settle down have been assigned a number. This number will also be the house number of the house they are assigned in the future. The faster the embankment is built, the faster they can move in. Usually, when the embankment is built, the houses inside can be built to the same extent. The more people, the stronger the strength. Moreover, the construction of this simple brick and tile village house requires low technical content and sufficient materials. If you go down the corner, you can just lay bricks and cover tiles. This is not the north, and you don’t need any heating system. Often a group of people can build the main body of a house in a few days.

It was also when Sun Xiangfu was in full swing, Li Shimin set off for Shanyang with the main ministers of the court and a team of 15 soldiers. Many concubines and young princes and daughters of the emperors of the two dynasties were brought there, and only the crown prince Li Chengqian was left to supervise the country in Chang'an.

Shanyang has an ultra-luxurious palace that can accommodate their whole family. Most of the ministers also have real estate there. Before the Dingxiang Grand Competition starts, he will live in Shanyang for more than two months. Going to Dingxiang, moreover, the specific opening time of the competition is set on the eighth day of August, and the entire competition should end before mid-September.

Sun Xiangfu, on the other hand, needs to harvest the rice in the embankment in about a month, and after planting the second season of seedlings, he will take several delegations from Shannan Road to Dingxiang for the competition.

The beginning of June in the lunar calendar is exactly the middle of July in the Gregorian calendar. Due to the relatively long growth cycle of traditional rice seeds, it is nearly a month later than Sun Xiangfu's expected maturity period, but it basically does not affect his itinerary. When a large number of disaster victims and laborers can be mobilized by it, the [-] mu of land was harvested in just two days, and it was harvested, spread out on the cement drying field for two days, and basically reached Storage standard.

"The rice seeds of this season are only used as the basis for hybrid rice seeds. What I require is large grains and full rice grains. As for the yield, you should weigh it when you put it in the warehouse and report the number to me. Let the rice seeds genetically pass through hybridization. It has been improved to push up production, and it will gradually start after the second quarter."

Sun Xiangfu plans to use a four-year, eight-season planting cycle to cross-breed a high-yield hybrid rice seed, and then use multiple paddocks and cyclically use the quaternary seed management technology to maintain the fineness of the rice seeds. It will take another four years to carry out the second round of hybrid breeding and cultivation to push it to the yield limit that can be achieved by traditional hybrid seed breeding techniques. After that, a special seed agency will be set up in the Ministry of Agriculture to provide high-yielding rice seeds to all farmers.

Therefore, in fact, he didn't care about the rice production in the first season. He even specifically asked the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to organize the people to dry it before weighing it. Various types of rice seeds, looking at some of the characteristics of the rice produced by these rice seeds, he knows that there are even many wild rice rice planted as seeds, and the shape of the grains is still the same. There is a big difference, like the southern rice of later generations, which looks slender, while the northeast rice is thick and short. Partially elliptical, Sun Xiangfu discovered the differences of several rice varieties produced in different places just from the shape of the rice.

"Master Shangshu, you don't care about the yield, but the common people do. In the past few days, they have asked us more than once, what is the yield in this year's rice fields? According to them, compared with last year, it should be Much taller." Du Gou didn't understand what Sun Xiangfu was studying, so he continued.

The height must be higher, because the method of whole field is more scientific, the method of growing seedlings, the fertility of the field, the intensity of irrigation and drainage, the intensity of weeding and pest control, etc., are not ordinary people taking care of the field. time can be compared.

Good news can boost the confidence of the people. Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu continued to look at all kinds of rice grains with a magnifying glass on his hand, but said in his mouth, "Since they want to know, after the weighing, you can make a list and announce it." Let's go! Now we have a lot of rice, next season, we will directly plant the other four developed paddy fields according to the procedure!"

Du Gou nodded and smiled, "Okay! The people in the other paddocks are eagerly waiting for you to make this decision!"

After finishing speaking, he led Li Tai and others who were also very interested in the rice production data to go out to weigh them. It was Wu Meiniang, after listening to Sun Xiangfu's explanation of hybrid rice, she had a better understanding of these things. She has a strong inquiry mentality, but due to her age, she does not yet have some basic hands-on skills.Therefore, Sun Xiangfu planned to take her to Shanyang this time as well, and learn hands-on skills from Sun Deshou and the others for two years.

"Master head, Mei'er doesn't stay in Shanyang, okay? Meier wants to follow you and learn the most powerful skills."

"What? Are you used to bullying these guys? This is not good, girl, it's better to be calm. Going to Shanyang is to let you learn all the basic skills. We people from the farm , You can’t just master theoretical knowledge. No matter how advanced theoretical knowledge is, if you don’t practice it, you won’t understand the truth. If you don’t understand the truth, it will be difficult to make progress. You must go through this process.

Of course, if you work hard, you may be able to learn about the same in a year, but just don't rely on Shanyang and don't want to come back. Shanyang and Dingxiang are much more fun than here. "

Life in the countryside is generally boring. Compared with the colorful world of Shanyang and Dingxiang, it is naturally a lot paler. Sun Xiangfu thinks that the most powerful skill that Wu Meiniang said is farming, but it is not the case.

What Wu Meiniang wants to learn the most is actually his ability to grow hair. She feels that this kind of ability that can change the fate of hundreds of thousands of people is the most powerful. At a young age, she has already been interested in politics Power, aroused a strong interest, maybe this is the destiny!
"No way! By the way, will you take them there this time?"

The 'those people' Wu Meiniang mentioned were naturally the fourteen princes. Sun Xiangfu shook his head and said, "Of course not. After the second season of rice planting, there are still many things to be busy! There are already few officials in the Ministry, and the planting area will be expanded, so they will naturally stay and help organize."

"In this way, I can rest assured." Wu Meiniang seemed very satisfied with Sun Xiangfu's arrangement, and smiled with two canine teeth.

Sun Xiangfu turned his head and glanced at Wu Meiniang for a rare time, and after seeing her expression, he asked, "Do you think it is a very happy thing to see them embarrassing?"

"Uh, Master saw it." After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

"Your mentality is wrong. How to put it, they can be regarded as half of your master and my apprentice, your half of your apprentice. You should be proud of letting them grow and progress.

People, only when the heart is right, the things that are done are good things. Only when more good things are done, the world will become more and more beautiful. You have to remember these words that the teacher said to you today. "

Seeing that Sun Xiangfu spoke so seriously, Wu Meiniang didn't dare to joke anymore, and bowed down and said, "Your apprentice has been taught."

Seeing her attitude, Sun Xiangfu nodded in relief and said, "Very well, you child grew up under the oppression of your elder brother, so your personality is inevitably a bit perverted, you need to learn more to cultivate your sentiments, so that you can be more emotional. Dongshi, follow me to Shanyang this time, and learn some basic skills of music and dance with your wife, and practice more in your spare time, so that you can look more like a girl."

After hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, Wu Meiniang immediately had a different opinion, and said, "Meier should not learn those skills that are used to perform for others. Meier should concentrate on learning Master's skills and let others perform for Meier."

When Sun Xiangfu heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, and thought, "Could it be that geniuses are different from what others think since they were young?" '
